Re: Crypto Book Recommendations?

[Erik Tayler <erik () digitaloffense net>]

I agree, Applied Cryptography is a must have, and I'd also like to suggest the 
follow-up to it, Practical Cryptography [Niels Ferguson & Bruce Schneier]. 
It's definately a good read, and was a little less of a "bang your head 
against the wall" type of book than Applied Cryptography.
